2. SOUNDBITE (English) Susan Prolman, visitor: ++PARTIALLY COVERED++
“I’m originally from Nashua, New Hampshire, and when I was a child, Jimmy Carter slept at my house. He had just won the Iowa caucuses and he was in New Hampshire campaigning for the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire presidential primary. And I created this little poster for him, and he very kindly signed it right here. Thanks, Jimmy Carter, 1-76.”
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Richey, visitor:
“You know, I thought the work at the Carter Center was pretty amazing the way that they’ve sort of done their outreach around the world. I mean, you know, as a gentleman, I admired the way that he lived a very humble and humble lifestyle as a president.”
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Lyn Leverett, visitor:
“President Carter was the governor of the great state of Georgia when I was born. So he’s been around my, you know, my whole entire being. And I just want to pay my respects to a decent person. So I thought, we took the train down from New York.”
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Susan Prolman, visitor:
“I think that he is just an inspiration in terms of his civility, kindness, politeness, his public service, his professionalism. I think that he really embodies a lot of values that I’d like to see come back to this country.”

The remains of late President Jimmy Carter arrived to Washington for three days of state funeral rites that started on Tuesday, Jan. 7. A motorcade carried the casket into Washington for a final journey to the Capitol.

Lyn Leverett, originally from Georgia and coming from New York, said President Carter was the governor of Georgia when she was born. "So he’s been around my, you know, my whole entire being. And I just want to pay my respects to a decent person," Leverett said.
“I think that he is just an inspiration in terms of his civility, kindness, politeness, his public service, his professionalism," Susan Prolman said. "I think that he really embodies a lot of values that I’d like to see come back to this country.”
